About our sink repair in Upgate Street
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Upgate Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Upgate Street, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Upgate Street
For anyone letting property in or around Upgate Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
